Trained By Ruth Franklin
This site would not be possible without the generosity of Bonnie Williams and her 40 years of dedicated work in the embroidery industry. Bonnie met Ruth Franklin in 1979 and spent time learning to operate the Singer 114w103 bonnaz machine under Ruth’s supervision. A full machine disassembly, hours of embroidering squares to learn how to get sharp corners, Ruth ensured that Bonnie would become a skilled operator.
According to Bonnie, Ruth was referred to as “Crusty Old Fart” by her colleagues and didn’t hesitate to let you know if you weren’t doing something perfectly.
Bonnie’s Work
Bikers, bowling leagues, Shriners, Masons and sporting teams alike were all repeat customers of her Embroidery Art company based out of Kansas City, MO. Some examples can be found below.
